Cold Case White-Hot 9 Years Later

Former Tennessee attorney Perry March, suspected of murdering his wife, is headed back to Nashville to face trial after waiving extradition in a Los Angeles County courthouse. It's the latest chapter in the epic story of a woman missing since 1996.

From the beginning, March has insisted his wife, Janet March, abandoned him and their two children.

He told the CBS News broadcast 48 Hours that, on Aug. 15, 1996, she packed a bag and refused to tell him where she was going: "She said, 'None of your business. See you in a couple of days. See how it is with the kids.' "
